Has anyone left a relationship with a baby? I’m struggling and I feel it’s the best thing going forward. It’s toxic. I feel alone.

I haven't but my advice is to really think about what's best for you. Too many times people stay together "for the sake of the kids" and it actually is more detrimental to them. Children thrive more with two happy parents who are apart than two miserable parents who are together. Also a toxic relationship is just a complete no no. All the best ❤️ x

I left a 9 year relationship, we was engaged and split 2 months after our little one was born! It’s been nearly 3 months now and I haven’t really processed it. We still live under the same roof and I try not to get angry and upset around him because I don’t want him to feel like he’s won but I completely understand feeling alone only time we communicate is arguing over the house and visitation and it’s all of stress that just isn’t needed. I considered sticking around for the sake of the little one but I can’t make sure she’s happy and healthy if I’m not. Don’t forget about yourself and your own happiness!

Don’t tell your partner you’re thinking about this yet. Get your finances sorted before you do anything. All the best x

Return to work 🥺🩵

At what age did you ladies go back to work after having your babies? ❤️

My little boy is 8 months old (almost 9), and I’ve recently been offered a really great opportunity to work for a company my friend works for. It’s an opportunity I’m genuinely excited about, but I’m also feeling quite emotional at the thought of leaving my little boy.

I honestly hadn’t really thought about going back to work just yet, as my partner has never once pressured me to find a job or even mentioned me needing to go back. I’ve been really lucky in that sense and have been able to enjoy this time with my baby without that pressure.

Now that an opportunity has come up, it’s made me realise that I might actually have to think about it, and I don’t know if I’m quite ready emotionally! 🥹

I know every mum is different, but I’d love to hear your experiences. How old were your little ones when you went back to work, and how did you find it? Did you feel ready, or did you struggle with the thought of leaving them? 💗

Idk ?

So, I downloaded this app hoping it would help me expand my social circle and feel more comfortable meeting moms and discussing mom-related topics and just having fun conversations. However, the more chats I engage in, the more disconnected I feel. I honestly don’t believe I can genuinely connect with people online, I’ve never been a social media type of person and sometimes it just feels forced. Also, I don’t think people take into consideration we’re all moms navigating our own personal lives, which may not align with the availability of others at the times they want to chat. So instead of negativity thinking someone’s ignoring you, consider the fact that they may actually be handling things and will communicate when they’re able to. And the group chats are a great social experiment but it’s no connection it’s no way to actually get to know people unless there are smaller made chats no more that 5 ppl …. Idk. What should I do 🤦🏽‍♀️🙇🏽‍♀️

Gifts for Dad?

I want to get my partner a small gift for becoming a dad - I'm almost certain he's going to get me a 'push present'!

Any ideas of something unique I could get him?!

Ideally something that marks the moment rather than any old gift that I could get him for bday/xmas instead.

Anyone wanna chat?

At work bored and would love some conversation.

Long periods

I just turn 40 last month. I noticed my period taking longer then normal to start. This month in particular my period is lighter then normal and when I think my period is finished it starts up again. Is there vitamins I can take or should I go on birth control to regulate my period. I also want to try for baby #2 . I'm taking neoQ10 and a prenatal. I got a blood test to check my hormones and thyro and everything came back normal. What can I do to have a normal period again ?
